Send us a textAs with my earlier podcast episodes, this episode will have a more personal slant – telling my listeners about a memorable college professor. This came about since I connected again recently with my alma mater – the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH. On my first visit to the campus in about 40 years, I was flooded with memories, especially those of professor and superb educator – Dr. Cecil J. Schneer. I was fortunate to take 3 courses from him and also was an assistant for an academic conference he hosted in 1976. He made impressive contributions to both the fields of geology and history and was a welcome colleague to many. In addition, you will also hear great stories about him from a professional colleague, Dr. Wallace Bothner, professor Emeritus at UNH,  and a family perspective  from nephew, Dr. Jonathan Schneer, Professor Emeritus at Georgia Tech.  Episode Section Markers:1) Introduction2) Brief life history (4:41) 3) Interview - Dr. Wallace Bothner (10:26)4) Interview - Dr. Jonathan Schneer (21:54)5) Memorials (30:13) 6) Excerpts from 1976 NH Conference on the History of Geology (31:26)7) Cecil Schneer's Work on William Smith map (35:32) Memorial from Dr. Kenneth Taylor (April 2017).William Smith Map - James Hall - UNH Links to books published by Dr. Jonathan Schneer (on Amazon):The Balfour DeclarationThe Lockhart Plot People Hidden in History information:Website: https://peoplehiddeninhistory.comDirect linkBasic Website with all Episodes/All PlatformsTwitter/Instagram: @phihpodMastodon: @phihpod@historians.social
